Howdy fastscooby01 and welcome to the forum! There's a wealth of information here at your fingertips, and a great group of people to get to know! :tiphat:

The average wait time to get your PIN? I got mine in 4 days. I applied on May 31 on line, and received my application packet with PIN on June 4. YMMV. That was an extremely short wait time to be sure.

Others who received their application packet at the time they took their class waited up to 6 weeks to get their PIN. And it came in the form of a letter....or a return email to those who wrote off for it several weeks after mailing their application packet.

You can see my progress on my time line below. Once again, welcome!

It took mine about a month to arrive...but that was back in the day (well May at least!)

I think things are getting a little better these days than they were 6 months ago, so maybe your wait won't be too long.

It does appear that some applications are moving through a bit faster. I've been browsing through here for a couple weeks now, and yes there is a lot of good information.
